WHAT CAN NEW DECISION THERAPY HELP YOU CHANGE?
· Old emotional hurts that still feel present
· Patterns that seem to repeat in relationships or life
· Fear, anger, grief, guilt, resentment or rejection
· Limiting beliefs and decisions about yourself
· Difficulty forgiving yourself or someone else
· Feeling stuck even when you do or don't understand why
· Experiences from the past that continue to influence the present
· A desire for greater peace, freedom, clarity and personal transformation
THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is at the heart of New Decision Therapy, but it does not mean pretending something did not happen, excusing harmful behaviour or deciding that what happened was acceptable.
Within NDT, forgiveness is a process of releasing what you no longer want to carry. It creates an opportunity to move from the emotional charge of the past toward greater understanding, compassion, freedom and choice.
THE POSSIBILITY OF RAPID CHANGE
One of the things that makes New Decision Therapy so remarkable is how quickly meaningful change can happen.
Rather than spending months or years repeatedly revisiting a story, NDT works directly with the underlying decision and emotional charge connected to an experience. When that changes, people can begin to experience themselves, their relationships and their lives differently.
The process is simple, focused and deeply personal. Each session follows what is most important for you and what is ready to change.
EXPERIENCE NEW DECISION THERAPY
You do not need to know exactly what needs to change before you begin. You may simply know that something doesn't feel right anymore, that a pattern keeps repeating, or that you are ready to feel differently.
An NDT session offers a focused way to explore what is underneath the issue and support a new decision - one that reflects who you are now rather than what happened then.
How Does New Decision Therapy Work?
New Decision Therapy is a gentle yet powerful process designed to help uncover and release the emotional stress, beliefs and unresolved experiences that may be keeping us stuck in old patterns.
One of the things I love about NDT is that we don't have to spend hours analyzing everything that has happened to us or trying to consciously figure out exactly where a problem began.
Using applied and behavioural kinesiology, often referred to as energy or muscle testing, we listen to the body's responses to help guide the session and identify areas of emotional stress that may be ready to be addressed. This can include unprocessed emotions, limiting beliefs, fear, anger, guilt, regret, resentment and other experiences we may have carried with us for many years.
The Power of Forgiveness
Forgiveness is an important part of New Decision Therapy, but perhaps not in the way you might expect.
In NDT, forgiveness isn't about saying that something painful was okay, excusing another person's behaviour or forgetting what happened. It is about helping you become free from the emotional hold that an experience may still have on your life.
Through the NDT forgiveness process, we work with the emotions and beliefs connected to past experiences, helping to release stored anger, hurt, guilt, regret and fear so that there is greater room for peace, love and choice.
As these old emotional burdens begin to shift, we create space to reconnect and come into greater alignment with what NDT calls the Will to Live, to Be Healthy and Happy—our natural desire to embrace life, experience greater wellbeing and move forward with more peace, love, trust and joy.
At its heart, New Decision Therapy is about exactly what its name suggests:
Releasing what belongs to the past and giving yourself the opportunity to make a new decision about how you want to feel, live and move forward.
About New Decision Therapy
Dr. Kandis Blakely
Creator of New Decision Therapy
Kandis Blakely was the gifted creator and founder of New Decision Therapy, a powerful healing method developed to help people release the fears, emotional pain and limiting patterns that can quietly shape their lives.
Kandis had a deep understanding of the connection between our emotions, our beliefs, our bodies and the experiences we carry with us. Through her work, she recognized that meaningful change does not always have to take years. When we are able to identify and release what is truly at the root of a struggle, profound shifts can happen—sometimes remarkably quickly.
From this understanding, New Decision Therapy was born.
At the heart of NDT is a beautifully simple idea: we do not have to remain defined by the fear, pain or decisions of our past. We can release what no longer serves us and make a new decision about who we are, what we believe and how we want to live.
Kandis dedicated much of her life to sharing this work with others. She travelled extensively throughout the world, teaching New Decision Therapy in many countries and touching the lives of thousands of people. She trained practitioners and teachers so that the work could continue to reach far beyond the people she was able to help personally.
But Kandis was so much more than the creator of a healing method.
She brought warmth, compassion and a wonderful humanity to her work. She believed deeply in people's capacity to change, to heal and to rediscover the love and truth within themselves.
New Decision Therapy reflects that belief.
It is a method grounded in the possibility that we can move beyond old fears and painful patterns, reconnect with ourselves and create a different experience of our lives.
Although Kandis passed away in 2013, the work she created continues.
It lives on through the people whose lives she changed, through the practitioners and teachers she trained, and through each new person who experiences New Decision Therapy and discovers what can become possible when fear is released and a new decision is made.
Kandis left behind a beautiful legacy of healing, transformation and love—and New Decision Therapy continues to carry that legacy forward.

Carrying Kandis’s Work Forward
When I was first introduced to New Decision Therapy in 1994, it changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. I became calmer and more centred. My intuition opened, and perhaps most importantly, my heart began to trust again—to trust myself, to trust life, and to reconnect with my purpose here in this beautiful world.
I first experienced NDT through one of Kandis’s practitioners, and the change I felt within myself was so profound that I immediately wanted to know more. I wanted to meet the woman who had created this extraordinary work and learn everything I possibly could from her.
At the time, I was the Director of a shelter for abused women and children. Every day I saw the impact that trauma, fear and painful life experiences could have on a person’s life. As I experienced NDT for myself, I knew in my heart that this work had the potential to make a profound difference in the lives of the women and children we served.
And so began a very special 19-year journey of learning, mentorship and friendship with Kandis.
I had the absolute honour, joy and privilege of learning directly from her. Kandis eventually certified me to teach all levels of New Decision Therapy and to certify others who wanted to become teachers of the method themselves.
Before Kandis passed away in 2013, she asked me to continue taking her work out into the world—to continue helping people heal, to transform fear into love, and to teach others this profound method so that they, too, could share it with the people whose lives they touched.
That request has always held a very special place in my heart.
Kandis travelled extensively throughout the world teaching New Decision Therapy and changing the lives of thousands of people. I witnessed her passion for this work and the love she had for helping people discover that their lives did not have to be defined by the fear, pain or experiences of their past.
Today, it is one of my greatest honours to continue sharing the work she created and to honour all that she taught me.
My own journey in healing has continued to grow and evolve over the years, and I am also the creator of the Mayson Method, a healing method born from my many years of experience, learning and working with people to create meaningful and lasting change. New Decision Therapy remains a very special part of who I am, the work I do, and the healer and teacher I have become.
My hope is to continue what Kandis began—to teach and inspire thousands of people, to help transform fear into love, and to place this beautiful work into the hands and hearts of others who feel called to share it.
I feel incredibly fortunate to be carrying Kandis’s legacy forward, and I would love to invite you to become part of it too—whether you come to experience New Decision Therapy for yourself, learn to become a practitioner, or feel called to carry this beautiful work forward and teach it to others.

Are You Ready to Make a New Decision?
Sometimes we know that something in our life needs to change, but we simply don't know how to change it.
Perhaps you have done a great deal of work on yourself already. You understand where some of your patterns come from, you have talked about them, worked through them and tried to move beyond them—and yet something still seems to be holding you back.
Or perhaps you can't quite put your finger on what is wrong. You simply know that you would like to feel calmer, happier, more confident, more trusting or more at peace within yourself.
This is where New Decision Therapy can be so powerful.
NDT is about discovering what is underneath the fear, reaction or pattern you are experiencing and helping you release what no longer needs to be carried. Rather than spending a great deal of time retelling the story, we gently work with what is happening within you now and what needs to change for you to move forward.
I have loved this work since I first experienced it myself in 1994. I know personally how profound it can be to let go of something you may have carried for years and suddenly experience yourself and your life differently.
You don't have to know exactly what you want to work on before you come. Sometimes you simply know, I don't want to feel this way anymore.
That's enough.
If you are curious about New Decision Therapy, I would love to introduce you to this beautiful work and help you discover what may be possible for you.
Come experience NDT for yourself. Your new decision may be the beginning of something wonderful.

Could New Decision Therapy Become Part of the Work You Bring Into the World?
Some people come to New Decision Therapy because they want something in their own life to change.
And then there are those who experience the work and think, I want to learn how to do this for others.
If you are someone who is naturally drawn to helping people, curious about healing, personal transformation and the incredible potential within each of us, learning New Decision Therapy may be a beautiful next step in your journey.
You may already be a coach, counsellor, therapist, healer or practitioner looking for another powerful method to add to the work you offer. You may have learned NDT in the past and feel ready to reconnect with it. Or perhaps you are at the very beginning and simply have a heart for helping others.
You don't have to arrive knowing where this journey will take you.
You can begin by learning the method for yourself, developing your skills and confidence, and discovering how NDT fits with who you are and the work you feel called to do.
For those who wish to continue further, there is also the opportunity to deepen your training, become a New Decision Therapy practitioner and, for those who feel called to it, continue toward learning to teach and share the method with others.
I had the extraordinary privilege of learning directly from Kandis Blakely for 19 years. Before she passed, Kandis asked me to continue taking New Decision Therapy out into the world, helping people transform fear into love and teaching others how to carry this work forward.
As the creator of the Mayson Method and a teacher of New Decision Therapy, one of the things that brings me the greatest joy is placing powerful healing tools into the hands of other heart-centred people and watching them discover what they are capable of creating for themselves and for others.
Perhaps you are one of those people.
If something within you is curious, excited or simply whispering I'd like to know more, I invite you to follow that feeling.
Come learn with me. Become part of the next generation carrying this beautiful work forward.
